Language Sensitive Editors

[Alex Huppenthal]

   EMACs, BREIF ( DOS ), and other editing tools have facilities to provide
'help' in the form of function prototypes and other language-sensitive
editing capabilties. We are considering adding ASN.1 to the macro sets we
have for 'C', and other proprietary languages. We find that well designed
macro capabilties enhance the program creation process. 
   Programmers unfamiliar with a new or different language, seem to have
embraced this approach. 

   Is anyone currently developing a set of macros specifically to ease the
language and DDL transitions? I'm specifically interested in Estelle, ASN.1,
and any others you may care to comment on.

 Thank you in advance,

 -Alex
